Description
The Tuscan Cypress is a slender, cone-shaped evergreen tree. Similiar to most other cypresses, Cupressus sempervirens can grow to surprising heights. Adult specimens can reach heights of up to 35 metres (115 feet). This cone shaped 'totem' grows a bit slower than most other cypress trees, but makes up for it with its beautiful shape.
The Cypress has a grayish trunk, with square branches. These branches have a similar gray or blueish bark. The wintergreen leaves are dark green of colour. The fruits are cone-shaped green, but turn brown after being pollinated. Cupressus sempervirens is not poisonous and is safe for pets and children.
It is possible for prune this cypress, but it is not necesary. It naturally grows into its cone formed shape. If you prefer a fuller tree, pruning can help. Focus on pruning the top of the tree if you wish to obtain a fuller tree.
